    Fernando Crôtte liked an update for Lost in the Fog

    Aloha All,

    The publication of Lost in the Fog is so close I can smell it.  For me, the scent is a cool, ocean breeze mingled with trees and dirt and the dampness of fog drifting across Lands End Trail at the westernmost point of San Francisco.  Maybe there’s some whiskey notes in there as well. 

    Lost in the Fog is a mystery, a comedy, a wild adventure, and a neo noir.  It’s also taken a helluva long time to get into print for people to read.  With the pandemic, it’s unfortunately made the wait even longer.

    And now there’s a new calamity to add to the Shit Show of 2020 to further delay Lost in the Fog. 

    The fires in California and Oregon, with their extremely dangerous air quality, have been a horrific ordeal that’s affected so many people.  Because of this, it’s produced a slight setback for the printed books to be shipped to everyone who pre-ordered one.  Of course my novel’s delay means absolutely nothing in the larger picture of what’s going on, and my heart goes out to everyone affected.

    But there is some good news with Lost in the Fog . . . the e-version will be ready to go on September 21st as promised! 

    Anyone who bought a paperback will also automatically receive an e-copy.  You will be emailed my book in both mobi (for Kindle) and Epub (Apple books) files, as well as in Adobe PDF which can be read on any computer or device.  I just received my advanced e-copy, and it looks super cool!  While I’m still a paper and ink kind of guy, I’ve read plenty of books on Kindle and I’m a fan. 

    Inkshares has said that the paperbacks of Lost in the Fog will be shipped in October.  I don’t have an exact date, but when I do, you will be the first to know.  I’m incredibly sorry for this delay.

    That being said, I’m also incredibly excited that on September 21st e-copies will be sent to everyone who pre-ordered Lost in the Fog!  Thank you, thank you, thank you, and mahalo!  I’m so grateful for your support, and I hope you enjoy the story of Camden, Veronica, and their quest to find the stolen Matisse sculptures in San Francisco.

      CAPE’S SIDE BAY COMING 2021
      For everyone who has supported Cape’s Side Bay I would like to once again thank you! It has been a long time since this book began it’s Inkshares journey. 

      My goal was not to begin crowdfunding (selling) the book on the site until it was completely written. When the book was complete in 2014 I began my page on Inkshares, and began taking pre-orders.  I knew the book would go through several stages of editing even after hitting my goal, but I also knew I had a finished book and so there was no intent on anyone waiting long for their copy of Cape’s Side Bay. 

      It has been six years. Crazy to think. Inkshares has change a lot during these years, at one point the book would not be published properly by the site, then that changed in 2016 when they held a contest and Cape’s Side Bay finished first. 

      The book over the past two years has gone through several edits and revisions and I am very happy with where it stands. Maybe a few more changes (small) along the way, but I have recently spoken to Adam Gomolin the CEO of Inkshares, and I have been told Cape’s Side Bay will be published Spring/Summer 2021. 

      If you have not ordered yet you can do so right here: https://www.inkshares.com/books/cape-s-side-bay?referral_code=4cd2117e 

      I am sorry it has taken this long, and there is still some time. It is a process, I just sincerely hope you all enjoy the book when you finally have it in your hands! 

      Thank you, 
      James

        Fernando Crôtte liked an update for Fae Child

        Hello supporters, backers, and pre-orderers of Fae Child!

        As most of you will know from my update from my mailing list, Fae Child is set to be published in the fall of THIS YEAR. We’re in the home stretch!

        What this means for you, my early supporters, is this. If you have pre-ordered a book you need to sign into your Inkshares account (password reset if you’ve forgotten it) and go into your profile https://www.inkshares.com/YOUR-NAME click the "Account" button on the top right, and select "Address." This should take you to where you can verify and/or update your mailing address. https://www.inkshares.com/YOUR-NAME/address

        Since the funding campaign was in 2016, it’s likely you may have moved! Let’s make sure your physical book gets to you.

        You may even have stopped using the email account you used in 2016-17 to sign up to Inkshares. If you cannot get into your account you should email Inkshares at hello@inkshares.com and they will help you get access. If you ordered an ebook it will be delivered to you via email, so this is important.

        Thank you again for all your support! I can’t wait to share Fae Child with you.

          Fernando Crôtte liked an update for Curio Citizen
          Hello all!
          I hope everyone is well during these bizarre and difficult times. My family and I have been doing our part by sheltering-in-place since March and wearing masks during trips to the grocery store. I didn’t know I would become a home-school teacher all of a sudden, but we’re making it work! I’m optimistic that we can all get through this if we stick with recommended safety measures, and I hope you all stay safe and well!
          Despite the general life upheaval, "Curio Citizen" and other aspects of my writing career are going great! I am about to turn in my newest draft of "Curio Citizen," and I will keep the updates coming as the project progresses. I am confident that each round of edits is improving the story, and I’m excited to share it with you all.
          I am also thrilled to announce that back in January, my dark fantasy novel "Lodestone" got a traditional publishing deal! In my last update, I mentioned that I was querying publishers and agents, and my hard work and persistence paid off. In addition, I recently found out that "Lodestone" was a Top 25 Finalist in the Launch Pad Manuscript Competition after being assessed by a panel of judges from the film/tv entertainment industry.
          I’d LOVE to fill you all in on the many projects I have going on, (including a short ghost story that will be included in a horror anthology this fall), so I invite you to follow my author accounts on social media. I will be creating an email newsletter soon for those who prefer updates that way. I will continue to post all "Curio Citizen"-related updates here as well.
          If you choose to follow one (or more) of my social media accounts, you’ll be just in time for "Lodestone"’s cover reveal next week! Let me just say that the artwork is AMAZING, and I’m excited for an April 2021 release.
          Thank you once again for your continued interest and support! I love you all!

            Fernando Crôtte liked an update for Eudaimonia

            Hooray! I’ve just sent off my most recent draft!

            I have spent the last three months working and tweaking this draft based on the editorial letter I received in February.

            I don’t know about you, but March was lost for me. It took me a minute to pull myself away from the news and will some semblance of normalcy back into my life. And I’m not alone, almost overnight, every one of us had to re-make lives we had grown accustomed to.

            The idea of sitting down to wax on poetically (or not so poetically) about a world I made up with imaginary characters seemed absurd as large chunks of the real world broke off and fell away from the assumed normal. It took me until April to rally. (and really, how much can one person drink and watch the news?) I turned off the TV, put timers on my apps, and got down to the business shaping this fourth draft. And here we are!

            I expect have some feedback by the end of the summer. I’ll keep you posted when I do. 

            This is a weird time. Take care of yourself and those around you.

            Gratefully,

            Meghan Godwin

              Aloha All,

              Just a quick update here on Lost in the Fog’s official publication date as well as a sneak peek at the front and back of the cover!

              While we all wanted August, the good folks at Inkshares are still not yet back in the office due to the pandemic.  Avalon, the extremely hardworking and amazing Director of Marketing & Publishing Operations, selected a new date to ensure there is enough time to properly handle everything on their end.  

              Lost in the Fog will be released September 21, 2020!

              It’s been a long journey, and I thank you all once again for your tremendous support.  I’ll be back in touch as the date gets closer, but in the meantime here’s an exclusive, first look at the cover.  I am so happy with the work from the talented artists Xavier and Rafael from CoverKitchen!  I hope you enjoy it too.  Mahalo! 

              -Michael
